God’s grace and peace be with you during this season of Lent.

We use this time before Easter to spiritually reflect and renew, and focus our hearts and minds on Christ and His ultimate sacrifice for our salvation. Our students took a physical and mental break March 9 and 10 for some much-needed Rest and Refresh (R&R) days. Since we are not observing spring break this year, these two days were spent on campus. Why not mark your own calendar to set aside some time for prayer and R&R?

Special thanks to all alumni who participated in our first-ever MarchMATCHness Giving Day - it was a huge success! The challenges and friendly competitions made it so much fun!

We hope you are as proud to be a part of our CUW community as we are, and would like to personally invite you to help us plan for the future by completing our upcoming Alumni Attitude Survey, and sharing your input for our presidential search. Keep scrolling for more details. Your voice matters, and your opinion counts!

Thank you for all the ways you continue to serve and support CUW. Our alumni are the best!
